Creative Producer?

[Sora96]

Now Tetsuya Nomura has been credited as "Creative Producer" on so many games since 2007, ranging from Hajime Tabata's 3 PSP games to division 4's 3DS and mobile games and now Dissidia and World of Final Fantasy.

Can anyone explain what this role entitles? And how Nomura has time to do all this while he's directing every single Kingdom Hearts game and a AAA Final Fantasy game?

I'd assume since he's designed most of the modern FF characters and had an influence in a lot of the stories that by creative producer they mean creative consultant. In film "producer" means organizer essentially, making sure everyone is on schedule and making everything happen, and I really can't see him doing all of that for every entry with big guns like FFVII and KHIII, though I could be wrong - after all - as director on a project where it can take months to complete one short scene, perhaps he's already laid the ground work and done the "directing" for a lot so he can step out and poke his head out on every project, hard to say.

RPGSite: Speaking of Nomura-san, could you maybe explain his role in the game as Creative Producer?
Hazama: He did many things, for example the title [Theatrhythm Final Fantasy] was chosen by him. Any decision related to art and design work were done by him.
